Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat

€11.90

A classic work of psychology, this international bestseller provides a groundbreaking insight into the human mind. With an introduction by Will Self.

If a man has lost a leg or an eye, he knows he has lost a leg or an eye; but if he has lost a self – himself – he cannot know it, because he is no longer there to know it.

In this extraordinary book, Dr. Oliver Sacks recounts the stories of patients struggling to adapt to often bizarre worlds of neurological disorder. Here are people who can no longer recognize everyday objects or those they love; who are stricken with violent tics or shout involuntary obscenities, and yet are gifted with uncanny artistic or mathematical talents. If inconceivably strange, these brilliant tales illuminate what it means to be human.

A provocative exploration of the mysteries of the human mind, The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat is a million-copy bestseller by the twentieth century's greatest neurologist.

Šis starptautiskais bestsellers ir klasisks psiholoģijas darbs, kas sniedz revolucionāru ieskatu cilvēka prātā. Ar Vila Selfa ievadu.

Ja vīrietis ir zaudējis kāju vai aci, viņš zina, ka ir zaudējis kāju vai aci; bet, ja viņš ir pazaudējis sevi – sevi – viņš to nevar zināt, jo vairs nav, lai to zinātu.

Šajā neparastajā grāmatā doktors Olivers Sakss stāsta par pacientiem, kuri cīnās, lai pielāgotos bieži vien dīvainajām neiroloģisko traucējumu pasaulēm. Šeit ir cilvēki, kuri vairs nevar atpazīt ikdienas priekšmetus vai tos, kurus viņi mīl; kurus piemeklē vardarbīgi tiki vai piespiedu kārtā kliedz neķītrības, bet tomēr ir apveltīti ar neparastiem mākslinieciskiem vai matemātiskiem talantiem. Ja arī neiedomājami dīvaini, šīs izcilās pasakas izgaismo, ko nozīmē būt cilvēkam.

Provokatīva cilvēka prāta noslēpumu izpēte. Cilvēks, kurš savu sievu uzskatīja par cepuri, ir divdesmitā gadsimta izcilākā neirologa bestsellers miljonā eksemplāru.
